That matchbox was designed by Ryu, a member and owner enthusiast. I think it looks fantastic. For me the SVX matchbox has renewed the collector in me. I think he said the packaging artist just didn’t know any better.

In addition to the 2 matchbox svx I found, Ive bought a bunch of other Matchbox Japanese’s cars.

Just found one at my local Target! Indeed, they're only 99 cents, so I was prepared to but them out. Unfortunately 21 were somewhere on a cart waiting to be stocked and it was a zoo. Anyway, we should corner the market on these! Everyone, buy out your local Target!

I wonder if they are available in Canada. We don't have Target here.

Unfortunately, that's just the packaging. The actual model doesn't have any hood emblem. However there interior is surprisingly accurate.

I couldn't find them at my local Target stores so I bought one from Amazon for about $6 along with the Sambar truck for $5.
